Okay, for the 'sensitive' types out here... you may want to skip this journal entry.
For us Type II Diabetics - and, especially, in light of seeing SO MUCH CANDY in the stores during Christmastime - I have hand-picked THIS particular parody I wrote (in 2012) to share thoughts I have about how retailers sabotage us during the holidays. Enjoy!
Diabetic Wonderland
(sung to the tune of “Winter Wonderland”, by Felix Bernard and Richard Smith)
Shop door "dings", owner's listenin'
Candy canes, Sugar's glistenin' -
Blurred is my sight, my levels have spiked
In this Diabetic Wonderland
Gummy bears, lil' peep birds
Chocolate forms shaped like cow turds
I know that it’s wrong, to stay here so long,
In this Diabetic Wonderland
At the counter we can grab some Snow-Balls
Then distend our belly quite a bit
Macaroons and HoHo's and a Big Gulp -
Tomorrow mornin' we may feel like spit
Later on we'll regret it
As we grunt on the toilet
An’ regurgitate all the junk that we've ate
In this Diabetic Wonderland
Minutes later, back out on the sales floor
Something wondrous grabs us by surprise
Peanut Butter cups the size of hubcaps
An' Chocolate bars as big as both my thighs!
Sugar high - ain't it thrilling
But next week, they'll be drillin' (cause)
An appointment was made with the Dentist Tuesday (cause)...
We ate all of the sugar we could stand...
Eating all the junk food in the land...
In this Di-a-be-tic Won-der-land!
